Main control unit 12 comprises system control unit 25; X-ray control unit 29, its control high pressure generation unit 31 produces the high voltage that puts on X-ray tube 11; X-ray diaphragm control unit 33, the open angle (X, Y direction) between its control X-ray diaphragm; With compensation filter control unit 35, position (directions X), anglec of rotation φ and the type of compensation filter in its control compensation filter unit 15.And, main control unit 12 comprises the support and control unit 37 of control C-arm with respect to the position (Y direction) of bed 17, the I.I. control unit 39 of control I.I.19, the camera control unit 41 of control TV camera 23, the image storage unit 44 of the X-ray image that storage TV camera 23 is obtained.And, main control unit 12 comprises the display unit 43 of the X-ray image that shows that TV camera 23 is obtained, diaphragm, and the compensation filter memorizer 14 of the position of storing X-ray diaphragm and compensation filter etc., on display unit 43, form the vignette door screen/compensation filter generation unit 18 of the graph image of X-ray diaphragm and compensation filter, with allow the operator to import the operating unit 27 (for example, keyboard, mouse etc.) of instruction.
Below with reference to Fig. 2 X-ray diaphragm unit 13 is carried out detailed explanation, this figure is the top view from the X-ray diaphragm unit 13 that X-ray tube 11 is observed.X-ray diaphragm unit 13 has a plurality of X-ray diaphragms 45,47,49 and 51.These diaphragms can be made with the lead that for example limits the X-ray.X-ray diaphragm 45 and 49 symmetries move, and X-ray diaphragm 47 and 51 symmetries move.In Fig. 2, X-ray diaphragm 47 and 51 is installed in the inside, and X-ray diaphragm 45 and 49 is installed in the left side.X-ray diaphragm institute's area surrounded (dotting) has been showed the zone that the X-ray that gives off from X-ray tube 11 is passed through, thereby and X-ray diaphragm 45,47,49 and 51 move symmetrically gradually that enlarge or dwindle should be by regional.Like this, just, can control the radiation areas of X-ray to patient P.
Below with reference to Fig. 3 A and 3B compensation filter unit 15 is carried out detailed explanation.The nonrestrictive diagram of Fig. 3 A has shown from the profile of the compensation filter unit 15 that the body axis of patient P is observed, and Fig. 3 B has shown the top view of observing from X-ray tube 11.Compensation filter unit 15 comprises polytype compensation filter 15a, 15b and 15c, and its direction along x-ray radiation (dotting) is arranged.Compensation filter 15c is far away from X-ray tube 11, and compensation filter 15a is then nearer from X-ray tube 11.Usually, each compensation filter is by making such as acrylic acid or analog.Compensation filter 15a can differ from one another to the shape of 15c.
For example, compensation filter 15b can have oval shape, and compensation filter 15c can have orthogonal shape.In the non-limiting diagram of Fig. 3 B, compensation filter 15a diagram is in trapezoid shape.These compensation filters 15a, 15b and 15c are along X and the Y direction moves and rotation (anglec of rotation is represented with φ) on X-Y plane.Move one or more compensation filters to disturb and attenuate X-rays.In Fig. 3 A, shown that compensation filter 15a disturbs the situation of X-ray.
Next, will be with fluorescence imaging, adjust the operation of the serial interpretation X-ray diagnostic device of X-ray diaphragm/compensation filter and main imaging.
The adjustment of fluorescence imaging and X-ray diaphragm/compensation filter will make an explanation with reference to the non-limiting diagram of figure 4, and this figure is a flow chart.In first embodiment, so-called ball group pursues and attacks imaging and makes an explanation as an example.Ball group pursues and attacks imaging, and to be the C-arm slide without spin along the longitudinal direction of bed 17, thereby the contrast aid that injects patient P is carried out imaging.In the step 61 of the Fig. 4 that shows fluorescence imaging, operator (normally doctor or radiologic technique personnel) checks the information (for example patient's name or other relevant information) of relevant patient P, the operator is by the operating unit 27 x-ray fluorescence condition suitable for patient P imports (for example X-ray tube voltage, X-ray tube current, fluorescence time, or other suitable parameter), and the operator allow patient P lie in the bed 17 on.
Usually, low than in the main imaging of the X-ray tube current in the fluorescence imaging, and be set to suitable numerical value by auto brightness control (ABC).System control unit 25 is by X-ray control unit 29 and the high-voltage generating unit 31 control X-ray tubes 11 radiation X-rays patient P to the bed 17.Simultaneously, the X-ray diaphragm 45,46,49 and 51 of X-ray diaphragm control unit 33 control X-ray diaphragm unit 13, thus the zone of passing through of X-ray is maximized.Similarly, the compensation filter 15a of compensation filter unit 15 is fixed on the position that can not make the X-ray attenuation to 15c.
The X-ray sees through patient P, and the X-ray of scattering is by 4 cuttings of X-ray net grid.Remaining x-ray radiation is to I.I.19.In I.I.19, produce the optical signalling that the quantity with incident X-ray adapts, after optical unit 21 was proofreaied and correct, TV camera 23 converted gauged optical signalling to as the TV picture signal the signal of telecommunication at optical signalling.A/D converter converts the TV picture signal to digital signal, then digital signal is carried out Flame Image Process.Treated digital signal converts the TV picture signal that shows as the x-ray fluorescence image again on display unit 43.During the x-ray fluorescence image on the observation display unit 43, the operator can move to shank with the C-arm from (for example) patient P abdominal part by operating unit 27 and support and control unit 37.Simultaneously, X-ray sustained radiation X-ray arrives on one's body the patient P, and the fluoroscopic image from patient P abdominal part to shank then is presented on the display unit 43 in real time.The x-ray fluorescence image is stored in the image storage 44.Similar operation also can be carried out in main imaging.
The adjusting of explained later X-ray diaphragm unit/compensation filter (step 62-65 among Fig. 4).When regulating, X-ray tube 11 non-radiating X-rays.In the step 62 of playback fluoroscopic image, fluoroscopic image data is read and is presented on the display unit 43 in image storage unit 44.
Fig. 5 has showed an example that is presented on the display unit 43.Fluoroscopic image is reset at the monitor center as circular image.In step 63, empty X-ray diaphragm and empty compensation filter form on fluoroscopic image 72 by vignette door screen/compensation filter generation unit 18.Be presented on the display unit 43 to empty X-ray diaphragm diagram, and an one example is shown in dotted line among Fig. 5 74.Empty compensation filter shows on display unit 43 similarly with being illustrated, and an one example is shown in dotted line among Fig. 5 73.The empty X-ray diaphragm and the size of empty compensation filter and the size of x-ray fluorescence image adapt.When amplifying the x-ray fluorescence image, empty X-ray diaphragm and empty compensation filter also amplify similarly.In step 64, the operator is provided with the position of X-ray diaphragm X and Y.
In detail, the operator regulates the size of monitor deficiency of the upper portion of the body X-ray diaphragm 74 by operating unit 27.According to the size of empty X-ray diaphragm 74, calculate the X and the Y position data of X-ray diaphragm, and this position data is stored in diaphragm and the compensation filter memorizer 14 with the position data of support unit 16 through adjusting.In step 65, the position of setting compensation light filter, angle and kind.Say that at length the operator selects an empty compensation filter from be presented at the material standed on the monitor as icon.
The explained later selection is positioned at the example of the empty compensation filter material standed at center.Selected empty compensation filter be presented on the monitor fluoroscopic image 72 near.The operator regulates the X position of empty compensation filter 73 and the angle of regulating empty compensation filter 73.Type, position and the angle of empty compensation filter is stored in diaphragm and the compensation filter memorizer 14 with the position data of support unit 16.Similarly, operating unit 27 is used to select or regulate type, position and the angle of empty compensation filter.
After adjusting was finished, the operator was arranged on the X-ray diaphragm and the compensation filter of the fluoroscopic image that shows on another diverse location.Operator in whole imaging region (or only in desired zone) is provided with X-ray diaphragm and compensation filter.Like this, just X-ray diaphragm and compensation filter can be set, and tables of data (for example, as shown in Figure 6) is stored in diaphragm and the compensation filter memorizer 14.The Y position of support unit can be the position of X-ray tube 11, and it can be with the irrelevant absolute position of bed 17 or with respect to the relative position of bed 17.The Y position of X-ray tube can be the position of I.I. or C-arm etc.
Explained later master's imaging operation.As mentioned above, carry out main imaging to obtain to be used for the masked images and the contrast image of subtraction process.The imaging that is used to obtain masked images begins according to operator's instruction, and carries out before in contrast aid injects patient P body.X-ray tube 11 and I.I.19 move to shank from patient's abdominal part automatically, perhaps move to abdominal part from shank.After obtaining masked images, just begin to be used to obtain the imaging of contrast image.This imaging begins in contrast aid injects patient P body according to operator's instruction afterwards immediately.In the imaging that obtains contrast image, X-ray tube 11 and I.I.19 according to operator's instruction with speed arbitrarily along with flowing of contrast aid moved.Masked images is with contrast image aims at arrangement, carries out subtraction process subsequently.Thereby strengthened the contrast aid path, i.e. blood vessel.
Difference between masked images and the contrast image comprises such as subsequently some.Masked images obtained before contrast aid injects patient P, and contrast image then obtains after contrast aid injects patient P.The imaging that is used to obtain masked images automatically performs, and the imaging that is used to obtain contrast image is then followed the trail of flowing of contrast aid and carried out with speed arbitrarily, and other operation is then similar each other.In addition, being used to obtain the imaging direction of masked images may be opposite or identical with the imaging direction that is used to obtain contrast image.Explained later is used to obtain the imaging of contrast image.And omission is to the explanation of similar fluorescence imaging operation.
Fig. 7 has shown the flow chart of the operation that is used to obtain contrast image.In step 81, the Y position of support unit 16 is detected by system control unit 25.In step 82, search in system control unit 25 X and the Y position of X-ray diaphragm.At length say, search by table shown in Figure 6, and the X-ray diaphragm data corresponding to the first and second nearly data are determined with respect to the Y position first and second near data that detected.
In step 83, search position, angle and the type of compensation filter with system control unit 25.At length say the visual field data of the I.I.19 of the Y position of the data based support unit that detects 16 of compensation filter and pre-stored in the visual field of I.I.19 and being determined.In step 84, X-ray diaphragm and compensation filter are controlled according to the data of being confirmed.
Below with reference to Fig. 8 A and 8B the control of X-ray diaphragm is made an explanation.To the control of X-ray diaphragm and compensation filter can be simultaneously, carry out independently.Fig. 8 A has shown the fluoroscopic image from the abdominal part to the shank.In this example, four empty X-ray diaphragms are arranged on the fluoroscopic image by the operator.If the position of the support unit 16 that is detected is near the abdominal part position among Fig. 8 A, just data 74a and 74b are searched as X-ray diaphragm data in step 82.Say that at length shown in solid line among Fig. 8 B, actual X-ray diaphragm 45,47,49 and 51 is controlled by empty X-ray diaphragm 74a and 74b, and smooth connection.Empty X-ray diaphragm 74 shown in the solid line among the location tables diagrammatic sketch 8A that dots among Fig. 8 B.
Because X-ray diaphragm can be controlled as described above, the expectation imaging region of being set by the operator can receive enough X-rays, and the X-ray suitably intercepts in the nothing to do with zone simultaneously.In the superincumbent explanation, four empty X-ray diaphragms are overlapped from the abdominal part to the shank, shown in Fig. 8 A; Yet empty X-ray diaphragm can partly be set.When not setting empty X-ray diaphragm, the X-ray between the X-ray diaphragm can be used as maximum by the zone and sets.That is to say that if empty X-ray diaphragm and fluorescence imaging are not set, X-ray diaphragm will can not intercept the X-ray.
Below with reference to Fig. 9 the control of compensation filter is made an explanation, the figure illustrates the fluoroscopic image from the abdominal part to the shank.Three empty compensation filters 73 by the operator be set on the fluoroscopic image limiting examples as shown in Figure 9.The affirmation data of compensation filter are used for control compensation filter when empty compensation filter 73 is set in the step 83.When X-ray tube 11 when abdominal part moves to shank, compensation filter is to move to abdominal part with X-ray tube 11 speed much at one from shank.Moving of this compensation filter can last till that compensation filter exceeds till the visual field of I.I.19.Like this, because compensation filter controllably moves along the direction opposite with the moving direction of X-ray tube 11 and with much at one speed, thereby the decay of X-ray is minimized.
After main imaging, and the operator confirms photosensitive region on the subtraction image that main imaging obtained after, the operator is to the photosensitive region of patient P, Feng Bi blood vessel for example, and processing undergos surgery.At length say, thereby when x-ray radiation patient and I.I. detected the X-ray and produce fluoroscopic image once more, the operator inserted conduit in the patient P body.During conduit inserted, the operator confirmed the position of x-ray fluorescence image upper conduit.
After surgical procedure finished, main imaging was carried out on photosensitive region once more.In the main imaging after surgical procedure, main imaging employed X-ray diaphragm and compensation filter data before the surgical procedure can reuse.Like this, the operator carries out main imaging to confirm the result of surgical procedure after surgical procedure.Main imaging can for example be carried out after surgical procedure immediately, perhaps also can carry out after a couple of days in surgical procedure.
In first embodiment,,, X-ray diaphragm or compensation filter go up so can setting in position because have at least one on fluoroscopic image, to be controlled in X-ray diaphragm and the compensation filter according to the position of X-ray tube.In addition, because use empty X-ray diaphragm or empty compensation filter, so setting X-ray diaphragm or between the amortization period, can stop x-ray radiation, thereby can reduce the quantity that is radiated patient's X-ray on one's body to the patient.
The present invention is not limited in the above embodiments, can carry out various modifications and does not deviate from the spirit and scope of overall inventive concept.For example, although X-ray tube and I.I. move with respect to fixed bed in first embodiment, during fluorescence or main imaging, this bed also can move.Yet preferable is mobile X-ray tube and I.I. rather than moving bed, because moving of bed may cause contrast aid to move undesiredly.And, although in first embodiment, with the directions X of patient's body axis normal on the Y direction parallel with patient's body axis on, X-ray diaphragm can both be set, X-ray diaphragm also can be set at least one direction.For example, the Y direction that X-ray diaphragm data can a storing X-ray diaphragm.And, although in first embodiment, X-ray diaphragm and compensation filter according to the C-arm on body axis direction (Y direction) the position and controlled, the C-arm can be fixed on the Y direction, also can rotate.X-ray diaphragm and compensation filter can be controlled according to the angle of C-arm rotation.Like this, just, can apply three-dimensional subtraction process (so-called rotational DSA).
Although in first embodiment, thereby empty X-ray diaphragm and empty compensation filter are set on the fluoroscopic image of playback and set X-ray diaphragm and compensation filter, but when the x-ray radiation patient, X-ray diaphragm and compensation filter also can be set on the fluoroscopic image of real-time demonstration.
As mentioned above, because at least one is according to the position of X-ray tube and controlled in X-ray diaphragm and the compensation filter,, X-ray diaphragm or compensation filter go up so can setting in position.Therefore, just can reduce the quantity that is radiated patient's X-ray on one's body, perhaps can limit the halation on the X-ray image.
